Top 10 Scary Carnivorous Plants That Eats Animals
7. Sarracenia
Sarracenia is a genus comprising 8 to 11 species of North American pitcher plants, commonly called trumpet pitchers.
The insects are attracted by a nectar-like secretion on the lip of pitchers, as well as a combination of color and scent. Slippery footing at the pitchers’ rim, aided in at least one species by a narcotic drug lacing the nectar, causes insects to fall inside, where they die and are digested by the plant as a nutrient source.
